While he had just returned from a two-game absence sitting out with knee soreness, Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown put on an offensive clinic in what would ultimately still be a 122 – 108 losing effort to the league-leading Utah Jazz Tuesday night.
It was the end of the Celtics’ annual five-game West Coast road trip, and Brown was one of the few players who appeared ready to play against one of the best teams in the NBA this season, scoring 33 points on 12-of-20 shooting (including hitting 3-of-6 attempts beyond the arc), and pulling down 8 rebounds for good measure.
The Georgia native truly needs his teammates to show up and help carry the load Brown has been shouldering with few complaints this season, or they can expect to see him resting more nights to nurse those aching knees.
Watch the video of his highlights against the Jazz produced by Tomasz Kordylewski embedded above to see what he put in for his team on Tuesday evening.
